Hi Tilus,
The friction will disappear somewhat with use. I felt the springs were way
too weak for me, so I stuffed some foam rubber sort of behind the pedals,
which also has the effect of pushing the pedals forward, and reduces the
friction. You shouldn't have to open the case to do this. For some reason,
the more your feet push backwards on the pedals, the worse the friction is.
Wish this wasn't so hard to explain. ;o)

Hi Tillus
Your prayers have been heard.
GTX_Slotcar is making mods for our Act Labs Pedals as we speek - he
will publish artickles on how to make them silky smooth here
http://home.maine.rr.com/deroy/howto.htm soon.
It is a great wheel isn�t it.
GTX_Slotcar has some settings for FF in GPL you might want to try out,
go to the above mentioned homepage and see under controller/Game
Settings - I have found that his settings are very much to my taste.

Before you buy.
Hello !
I picket up an Act Labs Force RS today, mainly becouse the Ferrari wheel is
not available in my country, and i tried both MS and Logitech, and i found
thet both has serius disadvanteges :(
I hate the pedals on the LW, and i hate the mechanical feel of hate MS.
The Act labs wheel, looks and feels great, and it is a high quality unit for
sure, built like a tank !
Pedals looks good too, the pedal throw, and the pressure is just as i like,
but the pedals
stucking in position, it has BAD friction !
I am sure it can be modified, i want it to be REAL smooth !
If any of you modified the Act labs pedals, pease let me know, and help me
whit some basic tipps, ect.
Thanks in advice,
and sorry for the bad english :(
Bye,
Tilus
